It turns out that the next ship is making her debut on this blog.
The Florence Spirit was built in 2004 at the Kyokuyo Shipyard in Shimonoseki, Japan. She started life as the Arklow Willow for the Arklow Shipping Company in Ireland.
In 2016, she was acquired by McKeil Marine. She is equipped with four cargo holds and can carry up to 13,500 tons of cargo. She is equipped with normal hatches and cement ports so that she can carry a wide variety of cargoes.
She is 477 feet long and has a 69 foot beam.
Recently she was involved in a collision in the Welland Canal with a ship called the Alanis. She was sent to drydock and now she's back out.
I think the collision was on the other side because this side doesn't look too bad.
Not that I could really tell from this altitude and distance.
She continues up river.
She is heading up to Duluth.
